Fawn Speaks on Finding the Up in the Downturn

If you are waiting for things to turn around, stop waiting. If you are counting on politicians or CEOs to wave their wands and fix the economic crisis, stop counting.

There is a reason America’s largest corporations are turning to best-selling author Fawn Germer in these tough times. It’s that Fawn “gets” that these challenging times have presented us with our greatest opportunity to position ourselves for success.

“Everybody’s waiting for ‘The Recovery,’ ” she says. “Well, if you wait for things to get better for everyone, you’ll miss this incredible moment to define your contribution in its boldest dimensions. This is a time to stand up and deliver.”

Fawn says that if you expect the worst, you’ll get it. What if you turn off the news and turn on your performance hyperdrive so that you work harder, assume more responsibility and contribute at a level you have never demonstrated? These are the moments that will define us as individuals and as leaders.

If you think there is no opportunity out there, you won’t find any. But, if you make up your mind that you will succeed no matter what, guess what? You. Will. Succeed.

Fawn spent two decades digging up dirt as one of America’s grittiest local investigative reporters. You’d never imagine she would leave the journalistic cynicism behind to become one of America’s most revered leadership speakers, known for passing on unbridled optimism and hope to inspire people to act, rather than give up. That’s why Oprah Winfrey thought her first book, Hard Won Wisdom, was “very inspiring.” Fawn has a way of reaching inside of you and getting your best from you — regardless of whether you are a CEO or an intern. Just check out her testimonial page, where some of the most powerful business leaders in America tell how she has changed their lives.

Fawn’s timely new book, Finding the UP in the Downturn shows that you can profit in the downturn by being agile and smart, and by persevering — no matter what. Fawn has interviewed more than 300 famous leaders and trailblazers for her best-selling books and consults with many of them regularly as their coach. She has interviewed presidents and prime ministers, CEOs and Olympic athletes, Academy Award Winners and Nobel Laureates.

Fawn has keynoted for Kraft, Coca-Cola, State Farm, PepsiCo, Ford Motor Co., 3M, Novartis, GSK, Motorola, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Accenture and many, many other companies and organizations that want courageous and creative performance from their people.
